Violence, in its many forms, is a complex phenomenon involving, among others, mental health professionals, who are called upon to assess violent behavior and provide care for both perpetrators and victims. To account for the complexity and diverse forms of violent behavior (self-harm or aggression towards others, violence perpetrated or suffered, intentional or unintentional, psychological or physical, isolated or part of a mental disorder), this book, coordinated by Dr. Mathieu Lacambre, addresses the issue of violence as a symptom, exploring its various manifestations and expressions according to the context and the individuals involved, in order to move beyond the often-established divisions between different forms of violence.
